Add a distinctive old-world detail to doors, furniture and handmade projects with this Vintage iron clavo. Hand forged from iron, it has a broad decorative round head with detailing and a long tapered nail for installation into suitable wooden surfaces.

Inspired by traditional decorative ironwork, the shape creates a strong visual accent on plain wood and works  well with rustic, medieval, Gothic, farmhouse and vintage-style settings.

Hand-Forged Iron Construction

Each clavo is made from hand-forged iron, giving it a sturdy, durable construction for decorative woodworking and DIY projects.The forged construction gives the piece subtle character and a traditional look.

The wide head allows this decorative iron stud to become a visible part of the design rather than simply functioning as hidden hardware.

Black Protective Finish

A black protective finish covers the iron, enhancing its dark, rustic appearance while helping in preventing rust.

Medieval-Inspired Decorative Design

The circular head has round details arranged around a raised center, creating a bold geometric pattern. This makes the medieval iron clavo suitable for vintage projects.
